Eagle Hospitality Trust Receives Approval for Delisting: Key Investor Insights
Overview
DBS Trustee Limited, acting as trustee for Eagle Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (“EH-REIT”), has announced that the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) has granted an approval-in-principle for the proposed delisting of EH-REIT from the SGX-ST Official List. This follows multiple updates and is part of the broader termination process for EH-REIT as outlined in the Deed of Termination.
Key Points from the Announcement
- SGX-ST Approval: The SGX-ST has advised, as of 14 May 2026, that it has no objection to the delisting, provided the REIT Trustee makes an immediate announcement and continues to keep securityholders informed about developments related to Eagle Hospitality Trust (“EHT”) via SGXNet.
- Conditions for Delisting: The approval is subject to ongoing updates to Stapled Securityholders and an immediate announcement of the delisting.
- Date of Delisting: The specific date and time for delisting will be announced at least two business days prior to the event, ensuring all stakeholders have a window to react.
- SGX-ST’s Position: SGX-ST’s approval does not reflect an endorsement of the merits of the delisting and remains subject to change based on SGX-ST’s policies.
- Ongoing Updates: The REIT Trustee has committed to keeping investors informed regarding any material updates related to the liquidation and delisting process.
Implications for Stapled Securityholders
- Trading Status: Once delisted, Stapled Securities will no longer be traded on SGX-ST. Investors will only be able to trade their holdings while the Stapled Securities remain listed. This could mean a significant reduction in liquidity for securityholders.
- Investment Risks: The announcement highlights that Stapled Securities are not guaranteed by either the EH-BT Trustee Manager or the REIT Trustee, nor by their affiliates. Investors may face a loss of principal, and there is no redemption or repurchase mechanism available from the Trusts while listed.
- Uncertainty and Forward-Looking Statements: The document contains cautionary notes regarding forward-looking statements, emphasizing that actual outcomes may differ materially due to various risks and uncertainties. Investors are advised not to place undue reliance on projections or forecasts.
- Legal Considerations: The announcement specifically states that the Stapled Securities are not registered for sale in the United States and may not be offered or sold there except under an exemption. Distribution of this announcement is restricted to Singapore, and failure to comply with this restriction may constitute a legal violation.
Price-Sensitive Issues for Investors
- Delisting Risk: The imminent delisting is a critical event that could materially affect the value and liquidity of Stapled Securities. Investors should be prepared for the possibility of a substantial drop in price or difficulty in selling their holdings after delisting.
- Liquidation Process: The REIT Trustee will continue to provide updates on the ongoing liquidation. Any developments, including asset sales or distributions, could impact the value of holdings.
- SGX-ST Policy Changes: Since SGX-ST reserves the right to amend its decision, any reversal or change in policy could introduce additional volatility.
- Investor Action Needed: Investors are strongly advised to consult their financial advisers, stockbrokers, or legal representatives if they have any doubts or concerns regarding the actions they should take in response to this announcement.
Important Reminders
